the same oppressive bastards they did this time . . .²

6. DINING WITH THE RHINOS
Joe Bageant thinks its about time America woke up to the herd of rhinos who
are slowly but surely taking over the country  . .  . ³Dissent? Judging from
the liberals I see here in the Washington D.C. area, they think voting
Democratic, giving 50 bucks to the ACLU and dropping down at the National
Mall once a year to observe someone else¹s protest is enough to maintain
their credentials . . .²

Michael I. Niman and Norman Solomon and lots of additions to our OtherVoices
section
